Overview
Optimole takes a hands-off approach to image optimization. Images are served and resized on the fly from a global AWS CloudFront CDN network based on the visitor device screen and browser capabilities, delivering crisp AVIF/WebP graphics at minimum file sizes.
Key Features
- Real-Time Cloud Resizing: Images are dynamically scaled to the exact pixel dimensions of the visitor viewport.
- Next-Gen WebP & AVIF: Automatically serves modern AVIF and WebP formats to compatible modern browsers.
- Global AWS CloudFront: Fast, distributed content delivery network with 450+ edge locations worldwide.
- Smart Lazy Loading: Smooth, placeholder-free lazy loading that prevents layout shifts (CLS).
- Watermarking & Retouch: Automatically apply copyright watermarks and dynamic image filters on the fly.
